Dan wait a second... Am I getting people/places/things mixed up? I did not know/remember that you were moving. Didn't you just get the GE wall mount fridge to put in your wood paneled room? Or was that paneled room in THIS new house you just moved into? Or am I getting everything confused...

Agreed Everything now is either a duffle bag or the ubiquitous black "roller bag". My parents used the luggage they got from my mom's parents for a wedding gift until the late 60s. It was hard and grey with very nice silk type lining. Then they got the Samsonite stuff in really bad 70s colors...

Great room Pete I agree with you about the shelves. Another idea might be to get a really cool vintage shelving unit that goes against the wall to vertically show/store the small items...a high shelf with a raised lip on the front edge is another idea. Even your vacuums could go on a shelf if...

Delightful Gary..... very well done, and congrats on your house being featured in the article. That must have been exciting!

I have noticed that alot of people here seem to get large washers and dryers and other large items at estate sales. I have written in the other forum my desire to have a late 50s Stereophonic Console--Voice of Music or Zenith. I have gone to a bunch of thrift stores and seen nada. Talking with...

Yes it does Pete... On the long sides, the second level section pulls out, it is held back slightly by springs, then when it clears the front (or back) of the table top, it tops up and locks into place. Pulling it back away from the table top against the resistence of the springs and pushing...

Thought I would share something fun. About 6 years ago I was enjoying a book "Popular Art Deco" by Robert Heide and John Gilman. There is some wonderful information on the 1939 World's Fair and associated collectibles. On page 171 there is an amazing "porcelaine-enameled and painted-wood...

Isn't Igia that place that cells overstock garbage that doesn't sell? I may be totally wrong, but I have seen on TV their ads for tongue scrapers (yech) and like a ton of goods for $19.95. Is Singer really the organization making these products, or are they sadly just selling their nameplate...

I totally agree Versa The other risk is that it is hard to tell in the written word when someone is being good-naturedly satiric versus outright offensive to some people-- I stopped watching Saturday Night Live several years ago because it is less satire and more just cheap shots (that and the...

Looks like you saved it! Congrats. Further detailing will nudge the unit more and more to "yours", especially when sparkling clean and loaded with your food. Good job, me and my 1963 GE salute you!

Ok, you could have seen me in my Charlie McCarthy video. If you think you are hidious Veg, you have not seen ME!!!! I was better looking when I had more hair. The video I was about 20 lbs lighter and 15 or so years younger too. I have to find a picture where I at least look like me. Most pics I...

To Austin's poing Mold and grunge like that just don't happen. How did it get so bad, or to his point, was the picture taken 2 years ago? It doesn't make any sense. What did the lady say?

That is almost as gross as the "sweatsock" story of my youth when I worked in a gas station and had to clean out the restrooms. I'll save that story for when we are in person and in between meals. One question I do have for you--how were you able to hold that open, AND take a picture of it...

Let's see..... Seeing my kids for the first time on ultrasound The first week dating my wife and knowing she was the one The sound of a Ferrari or Lamborghini V-12 at full throttle The TWA building at JFK The warm sun shining off a carpet of hail after a storm in Denver Versatronic's (and...

Not cool. :-(

No Superbird???? My heart was racing for a moment. Remember when people used to laugh at those cars and they languished at car lots? Guess who is laughing now. Not nearly as cool, but I do have a 1971 Super BEE. :-)

Oh I love the aqua.... Why are things not made in aqua anymore. Remember aqua cars, and models/hot wheels? We had an aqua LeSabre with an aqua interior. The Hoover blues are rich too.

Well lets see Pete.... The big HW book says my "Three Pedestal Drop-Leaf Extension Table" was made from 1956 to 1966. The Secretary was 1952-1954. The hutch, or "Credenza with China top" apparently was a combo only for 1953, althought the production on the bottom Credenza states 1950-1955...

Yeah Pete.... I know you me and Veg has similar tastes, and Ver's house is SOOOOOOO my exact taste. Now if Ver tells me he loves muscle cars too and has some Chrysler hot rod in his garage, that would cinch that he is my lost twin brother!

Ver one other thing.... Please tell us about that amazing lamp atop the Wakefield corner table.
